The driver picked us up on time at our hotel. He brought us to 3 locations., Goldfield Mines, Tortilla Flat, & the Dolly Steamboat. We were dropped off for over an hour in each of the first 2 locations to wander around on our own. The tour guide was an affable man- but didn’t have a lot of background information to share with us. The Dolly Steamboat experience was spectacular! The captain narrated our travels. The trip back to our hotel was mostly quiet.

Excellent day trip from Pheonix. Dolly Steamboat on Canyon Lake is beautiful. Lunch at Tortilla Flats can get crowded. Goldfeild & the Superstition Mountains are a sight!

The excursion was better than I expected. The guides were knowledgeable and very friendly, plus they gave us great recommendations of places to eat. I enjoyed every stop but truly enjoyed Tortilla Flats.
